She'll be right. . . It works in 5.4 perfect. . . so I guess when it works in 5.5 or above I'll update then! Feel free to use the wait.exe (let me know of any improvments or bugs or whatever. . . I am willing to help when I can)!

I've Got a trick up my sleave but the Resume After reboot is saying somthing about script error do I want to continue (I haven't touched the scripts . . . v5.5). Is anyone else having troubles with reboot / continue script problems with v5.5??? Anyhow heres how I've done it. . . 1. Add the attached file to your install path. 2. Run WPI and go into config. 3. Add new Item called Delayed Install and pick items Catagory as other. . .call it AA Delayed Launch 4. Set the items install order to 1 (make sure it's the first number in your order)!! 5. Save and it is done! What this wait.exe attachment does is hides the installer window and then waits (until reboot). . . Luckly the installer backs up it's current possition and is ment to continue after reboot (which it did but script errors)!! A little more help and I could be updating the wait.exe so it can be an option of the wpi (mabey without having to add the item at all (perhaps a tickbox in the options screen)!! OK what next???? Wait.exe

Ok as no ones shown interest/idea of how to do this I'll post my own findings on here when I get to my WPI again (Just building up my new Switchlessesssesssssesss) then I'll find a way to get it to delay the installation till it's called apon!!!! AND I WILL!!! Rightto I'd better go!!

I can run your WPI using my StartWPI detached (just after text mode setup) but I want to not start the install straight away (as a lot of my programs require the first GUI setup reboot (pre login) runonce to install and be fully registered (dll etc) as well as Shortcuts etc Is it possiable to call up the installer from runonce (as I know it already handles reboot) coudn't I somehow Turn off the reboot bit (so first windows setup reboots itself) and then using runonceex to call the installer to continue from the start??? Just thought if your program could generate the script (store it on the HDD) for install at later time. . . the reasons for this also. . . are I am sick of waiting around to catch the selection screen (as When I do want to turn somthing off). . . I'd like to pick them straight away (then have a coffee and a chat) then go back to a completed install on the desktop screen (with your second WPI (no time out) with post options (works nicley)))!! Thanks for all the work. . . Glad you like some of my previous ideas (I think outside the box. . . Clostraphobia!!) Read bottom post please!

Hmmmmm I just disabled all depend, gcond and cond it those two files and it was still slow generation process!! I did notice that while I was removing features that I wouldn't get a error message (my bad) until the long delay was complete (I think it's not slowed by these conditions) Any more input??

Kel it appears your've sent me the un-edited 5.4 WPI.hta (mabey you uploaded the wrong one) or mabey you just trying to tell me to shut up and use the tool your've worked so long and hard to create??? Thanks zorphnog your method will keep me very busy till kel gets another look in on his post

Well this being the case would it be possiable to turn off cond, gcond and deps (could ya point me to the right file to do this myself)?? I am not using any of the mentioned features anyway as all utilities are up to date with no need for checking as I built all the Switchlessesssesss myself!! I can see this possiably being a option (mabey in red) in the WPI package (as a sugestion to people doing the same thing) to decrease load times?? I've spent tooo long in front of my screen boggling the depths of this script and how smooth it flows with so many active developers GOOD JOB to all!!! Thanks again!

I am wanting to create my own hta Pre compiled Table (for speed) I have pressed on the view source button and it has all the information I need in there. . . being new to java script language I am unable to seperate the table and sucessfully add this to wpi.hta and disabling the generation section to create for myself an ultrafast WPI installer. I think if this feature were possiable using this for more than just a Post installer for windows install and make it possiable to create a cd/dvd menu program (with a huge amount of enteries) can someone help me to build this hta either by creating a 'insert table here' wpi.hta with generation removed or perhaps take up my offer of adding a compile button to the WPI project??? also I noticed that the show source code uses absolute paths and will need to be changed to short path!! if I knew java better I'd be posting a modified WPI.hta here for all to use. . . and if I figure it out over the next few days I will!! Thanks all. . . any help will be great!

I have got a config of over 400 installs (5 pages on 1280 x 1024), but it takes over 30 secconds for it to load (2.8gig pc) I would like to be able to compile a pre generated screen sized hta or html or exe or combination of all for my list once your generation process has complete... This should speed the sucker up!!! I know this probablly goes agains all current features of WPIw BUT I have decided your program would make a great autorun dvd install disk for alllllll the software I've collected over the years. . . . And having spent the last 3 days straight getting the config.js to include name, exe name, and Unique ID cheeted (all called APP00?)with the ? being a counter (helps keep track of which ones I've done). I noticed if I run the wpi.hta it takes about 32 secconds to load and if I press select all or select default it also takes 15 to 20 seconds to happen!! Your program (or scripts) are the easiest way of doing this sort of stuff and I'd like to see if you can expand it's functions (in your spare time of course, CAUSE WE ALL HAVE THAT)!! ALSO Like I said above. . . if you do make this feature you'll need a way to create config.js easier. . . like. . . How about adding a import folder option to generate the name, uniqueID, exe name and perhaps even ask for a default catagory. . . . I would think that if this feature comes about that you force users to only add usable folders (above the WPI path) so that you only need the extended path and not the whole C:\blah\blah\blah\WPI\FolderIWant\App1.exe should only be Added as 'FolderIWant\App1.exe'. Take a shot, free you minds and get coding!!! lol Good Luck for the future!! Nightwolf81

It's not Unticking all Catagory items when I untick main tick. . . Like it ticks all the right ones when I tick main Box!! Anyone help me out (I am sorta rushing to get this done but I wanted to know if this was normal behaviour for WPI?) Thanks in advance
